Friends and family will gather at 2 p.m. Sunday to remember Beverley Ann Steward-Hill, who died in a suspicious fire a year ago.

Associated Ministries also will hold a blessing ceremony at the site of the fire, which occurred at the Castellan West apartments, 2625 Cascade Place W. in University Place.

The cause of the fire was never determined.

Steward-Hill's relatives have been passing out flyers seeking information about the fire and also have set up a MySpace page about the case.

Crime Stoppers of Tacoma-Pierce County also is publicizing the case.
